• Welcome to the official homepage of the Feminist Action League (FAL). This page was set up to give FAL members and other interested people a chance to find out about the organization and to read about the issues and events that concern the FAL and the feminist & women community at Cornell.

What's New on the Homepage?

• This page used to reside at http://www.rso.cornell.edu/FAL, but I think Cornell took it off (2/2001)
• Since this is info from 1996-1997, I will keep it for historical purposes. I am not sure if FAL is still together, as the original founders have graduated and so have I. I have a personal homepage you can check out if interested. Thanks for all your links and support! -- 2/7/2001
• I took out all email addresses from this page to protect ourselves from spam mail. If you want info about the group for research or whatever, go to my homepage and contact me from there.

Cornell's Sexual Harrassment Policy

• The current redrafting/revising of the policy will affect all of us on campus, and we as students want to let the University know that. The student voice is often neglected in the administration and student input on issues such as Sexual Harrassment is crucial.

• For background information on what happened to the Sexual Harrassment Policy (also in regard to the Prof. James Maas case) and what is happening now, you can go to this site:
  • Justice On Campus: scroll down past the "75 Reasons" material to get to the part about Cornell's Sexual Harrassment issue.

Affirmative Action

• Cornell Feminist Majority's Action Committee on Affirmative Action works with other student organizations at Cornell to save Affirmative Action as an issue on campus.

• Try these sites for some information on Affirmative Action:
  • Regarding the California Civil Rights Initiative (Prop. 209):
    Feminist Majority Foundation: Campaign for Affirmative Action.
  • Freedom Fall '96 to save Civil Rights and Women's Rights
    Freedom Fall '96 Internship
